THURSDAY – Costa Maya, Mexico –Gazing out from the ship you will see the little Oasis of Costa Maya as we pull into the dock. This paradise resort area has sprung up for the cruise ships to visit.

Along the way we’ll stop in Mahahual to have a peak at the local goods and visit the Fisherman’s Pier. Our next stop will be at The Red Mangrove River for some bird watching opportunities. Continuing on from village to village there are many wonderful local artists, shops, bars, restaurants, beach cabanas as you ride this scenic road down the coast to a sweet, secluded beach where you have the choice of resting in the hammocks, taking a swim, snorkeling or continue biking another 4 miles or so to the turnaround point. Our journey’s ultimate destination is a fabulous Mexican buffet at a beach club with another opportunity to take a swim. From here it’s a short 15 minute ride to return. Back at the Cruiseship Resort you can swim in the pool, catch a close up view of the dolphins, shop or have a great margarita. Dinner on your own or some may dine together.

FRIDAY – Cozumel, Mexico - Our local guides will meet us outside the pier and we’ll bike through the main town to see where you will be shopping after the ride! This is fun shopping here!

With the sea on our right we’ll meander through the local streets heading out of town to the crystal water that awaits us at our astounding white sandy beach. Lunch is there under the thatched roofed beach bar that looks out to miles of superb views. Stretch out on the cushy lounge chairs or have a swing seat at the smaller bar next door.
